Sovereign of Stars-Chapter 19 – Heavy rainstorm attack

On the official road, the convoy continued to move forward.
"The weather was just fine, and now it's pouring rain," one of the accompanying confidants complained.
"Make sure to take care of the other carriage, don't let the rain soak the coffin."
"Yes!"
After giving his orders, Zhao Tianlei continued his conversation with Pang Shan.
"Brother Pang Shan, if the Situ Family really sends someone over, could your Pang Family introduce me?" Zhao Tianlei asked.
"Why, are you thinking of joining the Situ Family?" Pang Shan glanced at Zhao Tianlei and then nodded, "Alright, I'll help you with the introduction if there's a chance. Although the Situ Family has high standards, Brother Tianlei, you are at least a mid-stage Void Shattering Realm expert. Even if you join the Situ Family, you'll have a certain status."
"Thank you very much." Zhao Tianlei felt a surge of joy in his heart.
At that moment, the carriage suddenly stopped in the rain.
"What's going on?" Zhao Tianlei frowned.
"Sir, someone is blocking the road ahead," came the voice of a confidant from outside the carriage.
Zhao Tianlei slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and could see, even in the heavy rain, a man in black with a sword standing in the middle of the road, wearing a bamboo hat.
"Who dares to block our way?" One of the confidants on horseback rode forward.
"May I ask if Zhao Tianlei, the great master, is in the carriage?" The voice of the man with the sword, slightly hoarse, came from under the hat.
"You know our master?" the confidant asked.
"I was entrusted by Young Master Zhao Ling to deliver a message to Master Zhao," the man with the sword replied.
"Young Master Zhao Ling?" The confidant was taken aback.
"Could it be that Ling'er left a message before he died?" Zhao Tianlei frowned inside the carriage.
But then the man with the sword smiled, "Young Master Zhao Ling told me in a dream... In the lonely Yellow Springs, he wishes to invite Master Zhao and Young Master Zhao Qing to join him for a family reunion!"
"Outrageous!"
The confidant was instantly furious.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Tianlei's gaze turned cold, "Where did this madman come from? Kill him."
With that, Zhao Tianlei drew the curtain down.
On the official road, the confidants were ready to make a move, but Su Xin was evidently faster.
Clang!
The long sword was unsheathed, and spiritual power surged forth.
"Tenth level of the True Martial Realm?"
As soon as Su Xin made his move, the confidants immediately recognized that Su Xin's cultivation was only at the True Martial Realm, and they all laughed mockingly.
"Someone really doesn't value their life."
"Just a True Martial Realm, daring to come and ambush us?"
"Foolish."
Most of the confidants remained on their warhorses, showing no intention of taking action. Only the confidant who had just spoken jumped off his horse to confront Su Xin.
It was known that Zhao Tianlei, as the leader of the Su Family's Faction of Retainers, was himself a mid-stage Void Shattering Realm expert, and the confidants by his side were also extremely powerful, with even the weakest reaching the Sea Transformation level.
The confidant who stepped forward was at the Sea Transformation level, and with such cultivation, killing a True Martial Realm was as easy as crushing an ant.
But just as the confidant was about to engage the man in black with the sword...
"Forbidden Technique, Divine Annihilation!"
Boom~~~
Without any warning, the aura of the man in black with the sword, originally at the peak of the tenth level of the True Martial Realm, began to surge at an unbelievable speed, skyrocketing from the peak of the tenth level to the peak of the Sea Transformation level, and even close to the extreme of Sea Transformation.
Swish!
A sword light flashed, instantly slicing the approaching confidant in half at the waist.
"What?"
"This is..."
The confidants who had been laughing casually were all shocked.
A True Martial Realm expert's cultivation suddenly surged to the peak of the Sea Transformation level?
What kind of technique is this?
"Not good, he's hiding his strength!"
"Attack together!"
In an instant, more than ten figures leaped off their horses simultaneously.
A total of thirteen figures, the weakest among them at the Sea Transformation level, with four at the complete Sea Transformation level, and one at the peak of the Sea Transformation level.
All thirteen drew their weapons, attacking from different directions.
Under the hat, Su Xin's eyes were cold and sharp.
"With the Divine Annihilation Forbidden Technique, I only have thirty breaths of time, not a moment to waste!"
"Kill!"
With a low shout, murderous intent soared to the sky.
These thirteen confidants, having been with Zhao Tianlei for years, were familiar with each other and coordinated seamlessly. Their combined attack almost simultaneously sealed off all of Su Xin's escape routes.
If it were an ordinary peak of the Sea Transformation level, they would have been killed in an instant by the combined attack of the thirteen.
But they were facing Su Xin.
Buzz~~
A hazy sword shadow suddenly appeared.
The sword shadow was hazy, carrying a peculiar and eerie power, a power that was the Concept Comprehension Su Xin had grasped.
This trace of Concept Comprehension instantly gave Su Xin's sword a soul, causing a qualitative transformation.
In an instant, the hazy sword shadow mercilessly swept across the necks of the thirteen.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!!~~
"So, so fast!"
The thirteen confidants' eyes were filled with terror, some with mouths agape.
They were the ones who had joined forces to kill the opponent, yet until their deaths, they hadn't even managed to unleash their own moves.
Then, thirteen figures fell simultaneously.
After killing the thirteen confidants, Su Xin swung his sword fiercely at the carriage ahead.
Swish!
The fierce sword shadow, carrying a sense of finality, sliced the carriage and the horse in half.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures leaped from the shattered carriage, landing on the roadside.
"This..."
Zhao Tianlei stood in front of Zhao Qing, looking at the lifeless bodies of the confidants on the ground, a hint of shock in his eyes.
He knew well the combat strength of his confidants. With more than ten joining forces, even an average Void Shattering Realm expert would struggle to eliminate them all in a short time.
But just now, in an instant, before he could even intervene, all his confidants were dead.
The strength of the intruder...
"A Void Shattering Realm expert, there's another one?" Su Xin's gaze fell on the black-robed elder who had also landed on the road.
This black-robed elder was clearly a Void Shattering Realm expert, someone Su Xin hadn't anticipated.
"Though I don't know who he is, since he's with Zhao Tianlei, I'll kill him too!"
A fierce light flashed in Su Xin's eyes, and he pulled a talisman from his waist. Injecting a trace of spiritual power into it, he tossed it into the air.
The talisman vanished in the air, but a peculiar power spread rapidly, covering the entire surrounding space.
"Is this a restriction?"
"Not good!"
Zhao Tianlei and Pang Shan's expressions changed, immediately sensing the invisible force around them.
"It's an Airspace Sealing Talisman," Zhao Tianlei realized.

Void Shattering Realm experts, compared to True Martial and Sea Transformation realms, had a special advantage besides the power gap: the ability to fly.
To kill Zhao Tianlei, Su Xin naturally had to restrict this ability, so he had gone to the Crimson Dragon Tower beforehand and obtained an Airspace Sealing Talisman from Yuan Qing.
This talisman could temporarily prevent Void Shattering Realm experts from flying in a certain area.
In terms of value, an Airspace Sealing Talisman was even more precious than the twenty Supreme-Grade Spirit Gathering Pills Su Xin had previously obtained, but it was still within Su Xin's 'Earth Level' authority.
"Brother Tianlei, be careful. Since this person has prepared an airspace restriction, he must be well-prepared. We mustn't underestimate him," Pang Shan said, his expression turning serious.
"Yes, let's attack together," Zhao Tianlei nodded solemnly.
"Zhao Tianlei, today, you will die!"
Su Xin shouted fiercely, his aura surging as he charged forward with his sword.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Tianlei's gaze turned icy, and he drew a broad, heavy saber, weighing at least a hundred pounds. Holding it with both hands, he moved like a thunderstorm.
The saber swung fiercely towards Su Xin, leaving layers of afterimages in the air, its terrifying power crushing the air, causing a series of ear-piercing sonic booms.
"Move like Thunderfire!"
Su Xin's sword followed suit, carrying a trace of Concept Comprehension.
As the sword swung, the power of his bloodline... Since the awakening of his bloodline, even during the fierce battle with Zhao Ling, he had only pushed his bloodline power to seventy percent. Now, he pushed it to the extreme!
In the Eastern Wasteland, the unprecedented Supreme Bloodline, fully unleashed... executing the most powerful Thunderfire Volume of the Northern Azure Sword Art.
Boom!
Su Xin's sword was like a massive meteor, crashing into the broad saber. The explosive power caused the saber, along with Zhao Tianlei's hand, to tremble violently.
A hint of shock flashed in Zhao Tianlei's eyes, followed by a muffled grunt as he was forced to retreat repeatedly, each step heavily stomping the ground, causing rainwater and mud to splash up. After retreating more than ten steps, Zhao Tianlei barely managed to stabilize himself.
As Su Xin prepared to press the attack, a black-robed figure appeared beside him like a ghost, a claw-like hand striking towards his throat with lightning speed.
Pang Shan seized the opportunity to strike, his methods ruthless and his speed incredibly fast.
"Courting death!"
Su Xin casually swung his sword, and instantly, multiple sword shadows erupted in the air.
Amidst the pouring rain, it seemed as if snowflakes appeared.
Drifting Snow Sword Art, Snow Slashing Style!
Guided by that trace of Concept Comprehension, these 'snowflakes' moved at an unimaginable speed, not only repelling the attacking claw but also enveloping Pang Shan entirely.
"This sword art..." Pang Shan was filled with terror, feeling that the incoming sword shadows were too fast, unbelievably fast.
He desperately tried to fend off the sword shadows, but each one was faster than the last.
In the blink of an eye, ten sword shadows had slashed through, and by the eleventh, he could no longer defend.
Pfft!
The cold sword shadow pierced through his throat.
The Void Shattering Realm expert, Pang Family elder Pang Shan... was dead!
